**Recent impasse following the expiration of the June 17 Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding has shaped expectations for any US-Iran talks by August 31.** The 60-day window for advancing nuclear limits, sanctions relief, Strait of Hormuz access, and Lebanon deconfliction closed around August 17 without a final accord, leaving the sides divided on core issues including inspections and navigation rights. Technical discussions mediated by Qatar and Pakistan occurred earlier in Switzerland and Doha, but public statements from both capitals have signaled limited momentum for new high-level rounds in the remaining days. Traders are weighing the compressed timeline, persistent bilateral frictions, and mediator efforts against the absence of confirmed meetings or breakthroughs since mid-August.

A qualifying round must be a deliberate in-person diplomatic meeting or negotiating round concerning US-Iran relations, involving senior representatives of both the United States and Iran who are acting in an official capacity and are authorized to conduct or materially direct diplomacy on behalf of their governments.
Indirect in-person diplomacy through designated mediators, facilitators, or interlocutors will qualify, provided senior representatives of both the United States and Iran are participating in the same formal diplomatic process with the knowledge and authorization of their respective governments. The representatives need not be in the same room at the same time.
Follow-on technical talks from the June 22 Switzerland round will not qualify by themselves. Technical, staff-level, working-group, implementation, monitoring, preparatory, or deconfliction meetings will not qualify unless they occur as part of a new formally convened senior-level U.S.-Iran peace-talks round.
Brief greetings, chance encounters, photo opportunities, ceremonial appearances, or talks not deliberately aimed at diplomacy or negotiation will not count.
The meeting must be in-person (including indirect in-person meetings) and must be publicly acknowledged by either government or reported by a consensus of credible media. Remote meetings, phone calls, or other meetings where the relevant parties are not present will not count.
Attendance refers to the listed individual being physically present and actively participating.
If a formal senior-level round of peace talks between representatives of the United States and Iran takes place over multiple days, attendance at any part of the meeting will qualify.
The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the listed individual and the governments of the United States and Iran; however, a consensus of credible reporting will also be used.
